The record gives 4 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1869/70, the official was about 17 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1869/70, shows Rüsumat Memuru, with 400 kuruş a month. In 1873/74 the record shows no title (before: Rüsumat Memuru). In 1875/76 the record shows Mulazemet in Diyarbakır (before: no title). In 1878/79 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Diyarbakır, with 150 kuruş a month (before: Mulazemet in Diyarbakır).
